Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
599. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the cost of implementation of the national quality standards framework in youth work in 2011 and 2012; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25273/13]
View answerThe National Quality Standards Framework (NQSF) is primarily a support and development tool that provides services and organisations with the opportunity to articulate through a common language their youth work practice. Ensuring quality service delivery is also an ongoing priority. The NQSF applies to all staff-led youth work organisations, services, projects and programmes funded by the Youth Affairs Unit of my Department.
Details of the cost of implementation of the NQSF/Standards Initiatives in 2011 and 2012 are outlined in the table.
